About Me

*************I am happily married to the most generous and kind man on the planet, Kevin T. McManus! He is a world reknown music producer and engineer and has won numerous awards for his production and engineering expertise. He is very humble about these accomplishments...which makes him even more amazing!! He has even won an EMMY for his production talents!(Our recording studio in Nashville, TN is Oak Valley Studio www.oakvalleystudio.com) Can you tell I am impressed with him? I love him so much and I am thankful to be his wife.
At the beginning of 2007 we were blessed with the adoption of Kyle, our amazing 2 year old son. I could write a book about him! He is the most beautiful red head I have ever seen. We must have done something right in life to have the opportunity to be his parents. His arrival into our lives was an incredible miracle! We are SOOOO in love with him!! He amazes me more every day! His charm steals everyone's hearts! If you look at his pictures...he will steal yours too!**************
I adore my nephew Myles and niece Megan. They are both very talented, loving and intellegent! They are such an important part of our lives.*************
I have a family counseling practice. I LOVE my work! I feel so fortunate to have a career that is fulfilling and rewarding. This year I also completed my doctorate in Counseling Psychology. It was a life-long dream and a lot of work!*************
I have just accepted a position with America World Adoption Association! Honestly, I can't believe how God weaves the tapestry of our lives! Adoption is such an important part of my life and now I have the opportunity to assist other families experience the phenominal joy that children bring into your life! God AMAZES ME!!
We are very involved in our local church. I love directing Hands of Praise and working with the music and drama departments. I also have the opportunity to work as a facilitator Mourning to Morning, an outreach of our church.What a joy to work with all these departments of the church. There is nothing more rewarding in the world!
